The latest acne makeup from Clinique has many acne sufferers excited and hopeful. Most of the other medicated acne makeup on the market is relatively useless and doesn’t provide the coverage or texture that looks natural. Is this the answer we’ve been looking for? Let’s take a look at the facts and reviews before jumping for joy just yet.

Description:

Clinique Acne Solutions Liquid Makeup is a foundation makeup for acne problem skin that is designed to neutralize redness, blend away blemishes, and help heal acne at the same time.

This is a non-irritating, oil-free makeup containing salicylic acne to help treat existing breakouts and keep them from coming back.

After a particularly bad experience trying out a new product that made my face break out, I decided to try an all-natural Korres foundation that a saleswoman recommended. I have only ever tried their eye cream before, so I was a little hesitant at first. Having read through all of the ingredients, I determined that there wasn’t anything too scary in it that would irritate my skin. In order to have foundation makeup for different occasions, I tried both the Korres Wild Rose Foundation(a liquid) and the Korres Wild Rose Compact Powder. I prefer to use the powder one when I am in a rush in the morning and only want a quick, light application of makeup to get me out the door. A liquid foundation takes me a little longer to apply and doesn’t look quite as natural on my face in the daylight, so I save it for evenings or going to meetings where I need to look more professional.

Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer

I love Stila makeup and this tinted moisturizer I received as part of a kit. It provides just a little color for my pale skin without making it break out. It is best for combination or dry skin. If you are oily, stick with the Laura Mercier oil-free one.

Description:

Kat Von D Tattoo Concealer is a heavy duty, highly pigmented, transfer- and water-resistant, multitasking concealer. It is a creamy, blendable concealer that provides excellent, customizable coverage. It is oil and paraben-free, so it is safe for acne. This is an extremely long-lasting concealer, especially when you follow the standard steps of applying concealer in which you prep the skin, dab on concealer, blend edges, and set with powder.

Summary of Reviews:

Kat Von D’s concealer gets rave reviews from users as a great concealer for acne, rosacea, scars, and other skin discolorations. Even though it is branded as a tattoo concealer, users said that it works far better as a concealer on the face instead. In fact, those who bought it for tattoos were pleasantly surprised at how well it worked for hiding other skin issues, including undereye circles. This is a very versatile concealer.
